Nice catch (but I had to apply the patch manually due to some
whitespace damage).
After a quick look, it seems there are a dozen other sound drivers (most
OSS but also ALSA) with similar problems.
There are two possibilities:
1. continue to #ifdef all GAMEPORT support in sound drivers
2. remove all #ifdef's for GAMEPORT and let drivers that can use the
gameport (including the sound drivers) simply select GAMEPORT
As far as I can see, in this case GAMEPORT does no longer have to be
user-visible?
I can send patches for both, but I'd prefer the second solution.
